Iniesta~by Mark Muthiora

 

 

Iniesta

Iniesta, ‘dirty waters’ we called him
For he couldn’t let a pretty skirt pass by
Without a spank and a catcall
Else a chat and a number.

Iniesta the ladies’ man
With a gentle smile and a sly look
Pinched your woman’s back while you looked away
A folly to introduce them in the first place.

Iniesta whose looks gradually faded away
A scar here and a bruise there
Collected in fights over a bird
Else a thumping from an indignant husband.

Iniesta never learnt
That all is fair in war and in love
Today we inter him
Cause of death- crime of passion.
